Talklittle themself has said that it's actually because they were already working on a tildes app before the reddit API changed. Tildes was different enough from reddit that they felt comfortable investing the time. Then 3rd party apps got booted and everyone started moving over, and at that point it was easier to keep working on the same tildes app than to start anything new.
They are on the fediverse as well, so hopefully with time they may decide to make something for Lemmy as well
Huh thanks for the explanation I just replied someone else about not having a clue why dev decided to go that route haha.
